If there's one billboard that leaps out at you when you're driving around L.A. at the moment, it's the series key art for ThisGiant Beast that is the Global Economy.

This Amazon Prime Video docu-series from Oscar winner Adam McKay is hosted by Kal Penn and takes a closer look at the world's economy with a comedic spin.

Each episode the actor and former Obama White House staffer along with some celebrity friends, delves into financial practices around the planet and subjects like money laundering, counterfeiting, filthy rich people, poverty, greed, corruption and even how artificial intelligences are affecting the economy.

These striking series launch billboards were snapped stalking the city skyline along Melrose Avenue and La Brea Avenue from February 19 to February 23, 2019.
